VMware Fusion certainly allows Mac VMs to run under MacOS, but I imagine there is some secret sauce involved. Generally speaking this question isn't FreeBSD-specific, nor does it matter (much) that the underlying hardware is Apple's. Do a Google search for "hackintosh" and "virtualbox" and you should find some resources to get you started. Good luck!
